ARMING  THE  HEAVENS 

On  June  12,  WBAI  will  air  Arming  the  Heavens,  a 
major  radio  documentary  on  President  Reagan's  Star 
Wars  system,  which  envisions  an  awesome  nuclear  con- 
frontation in  outer  space  with  hundreds  of  laser  battle 
statioas  blasting  over  10,000  Soviet  warheads  within 
minutes.  Arming  the  Heavens  explores  the  raging  con- 
troversy over  the  Star  Wars  system  by  interviewing  over 
20  of  the  nation's  top  scientists  and  politicians,  includ- 
ing Nobel  Prize  winning  physicists  and  the  senior  offi- 
cials of  the  Reagan  administration  who  are  shaping  the 
debate  around  this  crucial  issue.  Significantly,  the  broad- 
cast date  marks  the  third  anniversary  of  the  mammoth 
peace  demonstration  which  brought  together  in  Cen- 
tral Park  over  a  million  people  to  protest  the  President's 
rearmament  drive. 

Reagan's  Strategic  Defence  Initiative  (SDI)  has 
emerged  as  perhaps  the  most  important  arms  projea 
undertaken  in  the  history  of  this  country.  Former  Sec- 
retary' of  Defen.se  James  Schlesinger  has  estimated  that 
the  price  tag  for  the  SDI  may  eventually  soar  past  one 
trillion  dollars — more  expensive  than  the  Viemam  war, 
the  Apollo  space  program,  and  the  Korean  war  com- 
bined. 


Arming  the  Heavens  will  first  describe  the  SDI  and 
focus  on  the  key  areas  fueling  the  controversy  around 
anti-ballistic  missile  systems:  a)  which  systems  are  be- 

\  ing  considered?  b)  will  they  work?  c)  are  they  purely 

■  defensive? 

Which  s\'sterns  are  being  considered-' 

On  March  23, 1983,  President  Reagan  initiated  a  storm 
of  controversy  by  announcing  a  stark  departure  from 
nuclear  deterrence.  He  called  for  the  nation's  scientists 
to  ereate  a  shield  around  the  United  States  "to  render 
nuclear  weapons  impotent  and  obsolete. " 

In  Arming  the  Heavens,  Dr.  Edward  Teller  calls  for 
sending  up  hundreds  of  x-ray  lasers  into  outer  space  to 
blast  Soviet  warheads  during  the  first  minutes  of  launch, 
when  missiles  are  most  vulnerable  to  attack.  The  Ex- 
calibur,  requires  detonating  hundreds  of  hydrogen 
bombs  in  outer  space  in  order  to  power  the  x-ray  laser 
sy.stem. 

Gen.  Daniel  Graham,  former  direaor  of  the  Army's 
Defense  Initiative  Agency,  argues  that  a  non-nuclear 
system  could  be  available  within  a  few  years  if  we  use 
today's  technology'.  His  off-the-shelf  system  would  shoot 
thousands  of  small  explosive  pellets  (kinetic  energv' 
weapons)  at  the  incoming  Soviet  warheads. 


According  to  the  staff  of  Gen.  James  Abrahamson, 
direaor  of  the  SDI,  scores  of  other  exotic  .systems,  such 
as  particle  beams,  microwave  systems,  hyper  velocity 
guns,  rotating  mirrors  and  other  sytems  are  being  seri- 
ously considered  by  the  Pentagon.  Some  of  these  were 
just  ripped  off  the  pages  of  science  fiaion  novels. 

Will  it  work:-' 

The  vast  majority  of  the  scientific  community  has  met 
the  SDI  with  skepticism.  Nuclear  physicist  Michio  Kaku 
argues  that  unless  the  system  is  100%  effeaive,  penetra- 
tion by  even  one  percent  of  the  Soviet  stockpile  could 
wreak  havoc  on  the  U.S.  According  to  Princeton's  Free- 
man Dyson,  the  Soviets  will  vastly  increase  their  stock- 
pile of  warheads  to  overwhelm  and  pierce  the  system. 
MIT's  Ko.sta  Tsipis  contends  that  the  Soviets  can  simply 
launch  several  thousand  decoys  and  millions  of  pieces 
of  chaffe  to  confuse  the  Star  Wars  system.  Nobel  Prize- 
winning  physicist  Hans  Bethe  states  that  the  Soviets  can 
rather  cheaply  confuse  and  penetrate  the  system,  while 
it  will  be  far  costlier  for  the  United  States  to  defeat  such 
Soviet  countermeasures. 

Defenders  of  the  Star  Wars  system  disagrees.  While 
admitting  its  imperfectibility,  they  present  some  rather 
stanling  arguments  in  its  favor.  For  example,  Dr.  Teller

REPORT  TO  THE  LISTENER 

I  write  this  early  in  the  morning  of  a  perfea  spring 
day  which  is  my  first  as  the  general  manager  of  WBAI. 
Marjorie  Waxman,  the  new  Folio  editor  (but  a  long- 
time BAI-er),  has  just  told  me  that  my  copy  for  the 
"Repon  to  the  Listener  "  was  overdue.  The  more  things 
change  . . . ,  they  say. 

First  I  should  tell  you  who  I  am.  I  have  been  an  editor 
in  the  book  publishing  industry  since  the  early  '60s,  for 
the  most  part  publishing  books  on  the  ongoing  strug- 
gles of  women,  the  poor,  and  the  third  world  both  here 
and  abroad,  as  well  as  critical  analyses  of  U.S.  foreign 
and  domestic  policy.  I  al.so  dealt  with  work  on  the 
theater  and  film  and  and  edited  some  fiaion  and 
poetry. 

It  seems  reasonable,  then,  to  ask  what  I  am  doing 
managing  a  radio  station.  What  am  I  doing  at  WBAI?  The 
equally  reasonable  answer  is  that  WBAI's  concerns  are 
pretty  much  the  same  as  my  own  have  been  all  along. 

But  a  more  interesting  response  is  to  note  that  my 
change  from  books  to  radio  is  less  dramatic  than  the 
changes  that  have  occurred  in  publishing  and  the  elec- 
tronic media.  I  am  not  onlv  talking  about  recent  events 
like  the  merger  of  ABC  with  Capital  Cities,  the  attempted . 


takeover  of  CBS  by  Turner  Broadcasting,  or  the  purchase 
of  the  New  Yorker  by  the  Newhouse  newspaper  chain. 
As  disturbing  as  the  conglomeration  of  the  media  may 
be,  it  is  something  that  has  been  going  on  for  a  long 
time  ( most  of  the  great  publishing  takeovers  happened 
in  the  ■60s  and  '70s). 

It  is  not  only  that  the  instruments  of  communication 
are  owned  by  bigger  and  bigger  companies.  It  is  that  in 
the  last  quaner  centun'  these  companies  have  learned 
how  to  apply  the  American  entrepreneurial  impulse  to 
the  produaion  and  marketing  of  our  popular  culture. 
But  in  their  drive  to  entertain  at  a  profit  they  have 
forgotten  how  to  enrich.  What  they  offer  as  "informa- 
tion "  more  often  than  not  only  narrows  our  vision. 

The  worst  consequence  of  these  shifts  is  that  "the 
industn  "  seems  to  have  lost  sight  of  the  real  value  of 
■ideas  and  imagination.  Rather  than  engage  them  either 
as  the  tools  of  desired  change  or  the  produas  of  our 
deepest  aspirations,  the  'communicators"  have  found 
that,  properly  sanitized  and  fashionably  packaged  as 
books,  magazines,  movies,  and  broadcasting,  something 
that  passes  for  creativity  or  insight  can  be  sold  for  a  big 
profit.  As  an  added  social  bonus  (from  the  perspeaive 
of  the  new  cultural  entrepreneurs)  it  turns  out  that  the 
stuff  that  sells  best  disturbs  absolutely  no  one.  We  are 
engulfed  in  a  flood  of  writing,  music  and  images  that 
dulls  our  .sensibilities,  thwarts  our  curiosity,  and  tells  us 
that  the  world  they  have  given  us  is  O.K.,  even  if  we 
aren't  (but  that,  they  tell  us,  is  our  own  fauk). 

But,  for  the  last  twent\ -five  years  WBAI  has  offered  an 
alternative.  This  station  has  entert:iined  and  informed 
New  York  with  a  diversity'  of  creative  sounds,  ideas, 
personalities,  and  issues  that  have  had  a  real  impaa  on 
our  lives  and  our  times.  It  has  served  as  sanctuary  for 
the  art  and  insight  that  the  incorporated  culture  has  no 
room  for  and  pion^^ered  their  innVation  and  nurtured 
their  evolution.  WBAI  has  been  the  forum  for  the  in- 
sights and  perceptions  of  a  generation  engaged  by  the 
challenges  of  humane  social  change. 

The  choice  wasn't  hard.  There  is  no  place  I  would 
rather  be. 

I  am  convinced  that  the  idea  and  the  reality  of  WBAI 
have  never  been  more  important  than  they  are  today. 
The  station  has  a  proud  record  of  achievement  and  has 
also  had  its  ups  and  downs.  Fortunately,  as  a  result  of 
the  energy  and  vision  of  its  family — managers,  pro- 
ducers, and  listeners — its  recent  history  is  one  of  steady 
and  strong  growth.  Much  of  the  credit  for  that  belongs 
to  my  predecessor,  Phil  Tyman,  whose  continuing  help 
I  appreciate  personally. 
,  Sheer  survival  is  no  longer  a  daily  concern.  With, 


nearh'  1 5,0(X)  subscribers,  WBAI  has  made  consider- 
able progress  in  the  last  five  years.  This  growth  has 
.allowed  programming  to  be  strengthened.  Most  im- 
portantly, it  ha.s  allo-sved  the  station  to  achieve  a  consid- 
erable reduaion  in  its  long-term  debt. 

But  the  remaining  debt  is  still  large  and  poses  a 
continuing  threat  to  the  station's  existence.  We  must 
still  coax  extra  years  out  of  geriatric  equipment.  And  the 
truth  is  that  the  station's  relative  stability  is  due  in  large 
measure  to  a  huge  hidden  subsidy  that  derives  from  the 
labors  of  volunteers  and  underpaid  (when  not  actually 
unpaid)  staff.  The  station  needs  to  retire  its  debt,. to 
allow  its  staff  to  live  reasonable  lives  in  an  expensive 
city,  and  to  fund  the  broadcasting  innovations  that  are 
the  key  reasons  for  the  .station's  existence. 

Beyond  this,  we  need  to  begin  to  think  about  the 
station's  long-term  prospects:  the  kinds  of  qualitative 
changes  that  will  enhance  its  influence  and  permit  it  to 
reclaim  its  place  as  a  major  communications  institution. 

All  of  this  requires  more  money.  More  money  re- 
quires more  subscribers.  And  more  subscribers  require 
more  overall  listeners.  In  the  early  seventies  WBAI  had 
nearly  twice  as  many  subscribers  and  listeners  as  it  has 
tcxlay.  We  need  to  win  back  our  old  friends  and  find 
new  ones.  We  need  to  find  new  ways  to  reach  listeners: 
direa  mail  campaigns,  publicity,  advertising,  word-of 
mouth,  more  and  better  community  events. 

Raised  again  so  soon  after  the  May  Marathon  (Have 
you  honored  \'our  pledge  yet?),  the  subject  of  WBAI's 
thirst  for  money  mu.st  sound  like  an  old  and  boring 
refrain.  But  to  do  the  things  I've  been  discussing  we 
need  to  do  we  need  to  have  more  than  ju.st  daily  operat- 
ing funds.  We  need  some  breathing  space  to  plan  for 
WBAI's  expanding  role  in  the  life  of  its  community.  I 
know  that  you  will  help  as  you  have  always  done. 

I  am  an  old  listener  so  I  have  some  idea  of  the  joys 
and  frustrations  you  have  felt  about  this  strange  radio 
station  in  the  middle  of  the  FM  band.  As  I  move  from  the 
class  of  listeners  to  the  managerial  hotseat  I  want  to 
thank  you.  Thanks  for  keeping  WBAI  with  us.  Thanks  for 
the  energy  you  give  to  the  people  who  make  the  sounds 
you  hear.  And  thanks  for  being  out  there  in  that  anony- 
mous intimacy  that  is  the  elearonic  ether. 

But  it  is  still  Day  One.  I  am  groping  my  way  toward 
WBAI's  critical  problems  even  as  I  grope  my  TiWty 
through  the  corridor  maze  trying  to  find  Master  Con- 
trol. I  look  forward  to  a  grand  voyage,  however,  and, 
with  the  support  of  you,  the  staflF  and  volunteers,  of 
Pacifica  and  the  local  board,  to  the  joys  of  an  ever  better 
WBAI.

sa\'S  that  the  system  may  never  be  totally  leak-prcx>f,  but 
it  might  keep  U.S.  casualties  down  to  30  million  Ameri- 
can dead.  Without  a  Star  Wars  system.  U.S.  casualties 
ma\'  .soar  to  130  million  dead,  an  unacceptable  figure. 

Is  it  Purely  Defensire? 

President  Reagan  has  painted  a  piaure  of  the  Star 
Wars  .system  as  being  purely  defensive.  A  benign  vision 
of  nuclear  war  is  being  presented;  one  can  almost 
imagine  the  American  people  carrying  on  business  as 
usual,  totalh-  oblivious  to  a  titanic  nuclear  battle  raging 
oxerhead.  Commentators  have  noted  that  the  adminis- 
tration is  presenting  an  alternative  lo  the  nuclear  freeze 
in  order  to  defuse  the  peace  movement. 

Critics,  such  as  Col.  Robert  Bowman,  who  directed 
the  I'.S.  Air  Force  Star  Wars  ,s\.stem  for  two  years,  pre- 
sents a  much  darker  vision.  He  calls  the  system  'a  cruel 
hoax'  on  the  American  peojile.  He  calls  it  an  aggressive 
IX\ith  Star"  .sy.stem  designed  for  a  first  .strike.  Admiral 
Ciean  La  R(Kiue  agrees,  saving  that  an\-  country-  with  a 
Star  Wars  system  will  be  tempted  to  launch  a  first  strike 
from  behind  its  nuclear  shield. 

In.stead  of  ushering  in  a  new  era  of  peace  and  stabil- 
ity-, tliey  assert  that  the  system  may  actualK-  collapse  the 
arms  balance.  Kun  Gottfried,  of  the  Union  of  Concerned 
.Scientists,  argues  that  any  country  with  a  Star  Wars 
system,  recognizing  its  \iilnerabilt\-  to  an  enem\-  first 


strike,  will  feel  pressure  to  strike  first  and  use  the  Star 
Wars  system  to  absorb  the  enemy's  weakened  retalia- 
tory .second  strike. 

Instead  of  being  the  ultimate  defense  system,  it  may 
very  well  develop  into  the  ultimate  first  .strike  .sy.stem. 

Col.  Bowman  even  argues  that  there  is  one  thing 
worse  than  one  countn.'  building  a  Star  Wars  .system; 
and  that  is  having  two  countries  about  to  complete  a 
Star  Wars  system.  Each  side  will  be  on  a  hair-trigger 
alert,  nervously  awaiting  the  moment  for  a  first  .strike. 

In  the  novel,  War  Day,  nuclear  war  is  started  when 
the  United  States  is  about  to  put  the  last  brick  in  its 
nuclear  Star  Wars  shield.  The  Soviets,  panicing,  realiz- 
ing that  it  will  be  totally  vulnerable  to  a  U.S.  first  strike, 
decides  to  launch  a  first  strike  of  its  own. 

Ignoring  its  merits  or  defects,  the  President  wants  to 
build  so  much  momentum  behind  SDI  during  his  last 
term  in  office  that  it  will  become  the  foundation  ofU.S. 
nuclear  strategy'  for  the  balance  of  this  centur\'.  The  de- 
bate around  Star  Wars  will  dominate  debate  surround- 
ing the  fate  of  the  earth  for  years  to  come. 

Arming  the  Heavens,  is  part  of  a  larger  national  effon 
to  educate  the  American  people  about  the  dangers  of 
first  strike  weapi)nr\-.  The  Disarm  Education  Fund,  di- 
rection b\  Riim.se\'  Clark,  initiated  tlie  succe.ssfi.il  First 
Strike  Forum  at  NewYorkUniversit\()n  Jan.  18,  and  will 
produce  a  major  television  program  on  Star  Wars  later 
in  the  \ear.  The  project  director  for  the  Disarm  Educa- 
tion Fund  is  Dr.  Michio  K;iku.

On  Saturday,  April  20th,  1985,  Richard  Golden- 
sohn  died  of  heart  failure  at  39  years  of  age.  Dick 
was  part  of  the  WBAI  family.  Many  staff  members 
and  listeners  knew  him,  either  personally  of 
through  his  work.  You  may  recall  that  his  brother, 
Mart\',  was  the  News  Director  here. 

For  over  fifteen  years  Dick  was  a  journalist, 
editor  and  political  aaivist.  He  began  his  career  at 
Liberation  Magazine  and  was  a  prime  creator  of 
Seven  Days.  Mo,st  recently,  he  was  a  correspon- 
dent and  editor  on  the  Hudson  Dispatch  and  the 
Newark  Star  Ledger.  In  March  of  this  \ear,  Dick 
furthered  his  journalism  career  at  Newsda\'.  In  his 
stories  he  often  pointed  to  tho.se  issues  we  hear 
discu.ssed  on  WBAI:  the  environment,  communit\- 
politics,  and  the  nuclear  threat.  His  Winter,  198-1 
series  ft^r  the  Star  Ledger  on  the  Homeporting  of 
Nuclear  carr\ing  ships  in  Staten  Island  gained 
him  acclaim  and  respea  in  the  metropolitan  area. 

I  knew  Dick  as  his  r<x)mmate  for  .seven  years 
and  his  friend  for  10.  He  was  an  unselfish,  suppor- 
tive and  compassionate  friend.  He  a  was  a  great 
father  to  his  son,  Sasha.  To  all  who  knew  hiin. 
e\en  briefly,  Dick  was  universalK'  admired  for  liis 
principals,  liis  vvarmtli  and  his  Inonesn.  He  liad  a 
\ibrant  .sense  of  humor.  His  memor\  and  spirit 
will  nurture  and  grow  in  all  of  us  who  knew  him.

REPORT  FROM 
THE  LISTENER 

Dear  "BAIers: 

Can't  tell  you  how  much  1 
am  enjoying  the  new  format 
that  began  in  March. 

I  never  write,  but  felt  moved 
to  let  you  know  that  you're 
back  on  the  right  track  (tor  me) 

Keep  it  up  and  I'll  try  to  get 
friends  who  haven't  li.stened  in 
years  to  tune  in  and  send  some 
financial  support  too!  ... 

Sol  Schwartz 
To  whom  it  may  concern; 

1  still  thmk  WBAI  is  fairly 
strong:  but  in  view  of  your 
recent  staff  changes — especially 
the  absence  of  a  number  of  .  .  . 
personalities  and  their  worthy 
programs — 1  think  I'll  postpone 
renewal  for  the  present. 

Sincerely, 
Charles  Scupine 


Dear  Folio  Editor. 

1  received  my  April  Falia 
today  and  much  to  my  delight 
found  that  I'd  had  some  in- 
fluence (however  small)  on  the 
station.  1  was,  way  back  in 
1980  and  parts  of  '81,  a  rather 
benign  volunteer  there.  .  .  . 
What  1  must  say  is  that  during 
my  days  at  'BAl  I  was  a  roving 
photographer  (the  up  and  down 
halls  type,  who  gets  annoying 
after  a  while),  in  any  case,  it  is 
1  who  am  responsible  for  the 
"iovely-if  1  do-say-so-myself" 
photograph  of  Pu.ssifica  T.  Cat 
on  that  front  page.  How  quickly 
1  was  forgotten,  and  this  is  the 
.second  time  this  has  happenedl 
.  .  .  But  the  Pussifica  picture  1 
want  credit  for,  partly  lx;cause 
I'm  vain  .  .  .  and  also  because  1 
was  always  fond  of  that  print. 

Sincerely, 
Laura  Kortz

Dear  WBAI: 

1  would  like  to  concur  with 
the  two  recommendations  made 
in  the  last  (April)  issue  of  the 
Folio,  viz.:  1)  that  there  ht 
more  debates  on  'BAl,  and  2) 
that  the  1 1:30  newscast  Ix^  a 
rebroadcast  of  the  entire  7:00 
version.  Concerning  the  last,  1 
would  like  to  emphasize  that 
some  people  don't  get  home  bv 
.seven  .  .  .  and  we  all  need  the 
complete,  real  news  from    BAl 
and  Pacifica,  not  the  fake  stuff 
we  get  from  the  regular  net 
works.  .  .  .  Sincerely, 

Crai^  Johnson 

Apolof^ics 

A  sincere  apoloi^y  to  jack 
Shiifif^.  A  letter  printed  in  the 
last  issue  of  the  Folio  was  both 
inawiirtite  and  personally 
critical.  On  the  first  count,  jack 
ShHf;^;  did  not  produce  the 
prox'ram  on  S&M  which  was 
broadcast,  the  Public  Affairs 
Dept.  did:  neither  did  Shu^'X' 
contribute  to  the  show.  On  the 
second,  jack  should  have  been 
('iren  an  opportunity  to  answer 
the  allei^ations  contined  in  the 
letter 

Similarly,  a  letter  published  in 
last  month  's  issue  criticized  the 
sentiments  of  a  previously 
published  letter-writer.  Bojh 
letters  referred  to  statements 
made  by  Paul  Gorman  and 
James  Irsay.  Becausg  of  the 
personal  nature  oj  tlte  criticism, 
the  programmers  should,  in 
fairness,  have  been  given  an 
opportunity  to  respond.  My 
apologies.  The  Editor

This  year  marks  the  end  of  the  United  Nations-proclaimed 
Depade  for  Women.  The  highlights  of  the  Decade — whose  broad 
goals  are  Equality,  Development,  and  Peace — have  been  3  In- 
ternational Women's  Conferences. 

The  first  was  held  in  Mexico  City  in  1975.  The  second  in 
Copenhagen  in  1980.  The  third  and  final  will  be  held  in  mid- July 
in  Nairobi,  Kenya. 

The  United  Nations  conference  is  official  with  delegates    ' 
representing  the  many  governments  around  the  globe.  A  separate 
conference,  the  Forum,  consisting  of  representatives  of 
nongovernmental  organizations  (NGO)  and  other  women's 
organizations  is  always  held  concurrently  and  in  the  same  location. 

This  year  over  4000  women  are  expecting  to  attend  The  Forum 
in  Nairobi.  Two  WBAI  producers — Angela  Gilliam  and  Vinie 
Burrows — plan  to  attend  FORUM  as  NGO  representatives. 

WBAI  will  broadcast  several  programs  before  the  Nairobi 
conferences.  On  Wednesday,'  June  5  at  9:00  PM  a  live  panel 
discussion  will  explore  many  of  the  controversial  issues  that  have 
arisen  about  women's  issues. 

On  Tuesday,  June  11  and  Tuesday,  June  25  at  5:00  PM  issues, 
related  to  the  Conference  will  be  presented. 

WBAI  will  try  to  get  coverage  of  the  Nairobi  conference  in  July.

ternational Affairs  and  News  Departments.

EVIDENCE  EXPLORES  THE  HISTORICAL  PARALLELS 
BETWEEN  THE  UNITED  STATES  AND  SOUTH 
AFRICA,  MONDAY  JUNE  10  AT  2  pm.  Did  United  States 
policies  toward  Native  American  nations  through  the  wars, 
government  agencies  and  endless  encroachment  of  the  land  by 
settlers  result  in  an  "Apartheid"  more  complete  than  in  South 
Africa? 

What  defines  or  ensures  the  "sovereignty"  of  a  people.'' 

Is  the  importation  of  slaves  the  only  form  of  labor  and  business 
that  make  colonial  enterprise  prosperous.'' 

EVIDENCE  explores  these  questions,  including  interviews  with 
'Kent  Brown,  Vice  Consul  of  Information,  South  Africa,  Mike 
Meyers  of  the  Iroqois  Nation,  and  David  Ndaba,  African  National

HERE'S  HERBIE 

When  1  was  about  fifteen,  I  was  pxjssessed  ot  a  great 
many  psychosomatic  complaints.  I'm  sure  a  lot  of  this 
had  to  do  with  just  trying  to  compete,  however  fruit- 
lessly, with  my  mother,  who  was  always  sick  on  a  very 
grand  scale— mentally  and  physically.  Nevertheless,  I 
had,  as  a  loving  son,  inherited  a  great  deal  of  her 
complaints  and  ailments,  although  I  believe  that  I  was 
probably  much  healthier  than  I  thought  I  was. 

I  was  ven'  allergic  in  those  days.  I  was  allergic  to  cats, 
grass,  weeds,  and  a  great  many  other  allergies  I  think  a 
lot  of  Jewish  boys  are  familiar  with.  There  was  an  al- 
lergist I  had  to  go  to.  He  lived  in  Manhattan,  which,  for  a 
little  bit  of  a  wimp  bo\-  like  m\-.self,  was  a  long  adven- 
turesome trip.  It  held  many-  terrors  for  me,  one  of 
which  was  the  subway.  I  lived  way  out  in  Queens,  in 
Laurelton,  which  is  near  Ro,sedale,  which  is  near  Nassau 
Count)' — way  on  the  edge  of  the  city.  I  had  to  take  a  bus 
to  the  train  and  then  the  'F "  train  into  Manhattan,  get 
off,  go  to  the  allergist  and  come  back. 

One  morning,  I'm  learin}^  my  house  and  I'm  in  my 
constant  state  of  teenage  depression  because  my  motlxr 
is  rer\'  often  ill,  and  she's  sitting  her  room  mocming  or 
calling  Iter  mother  to  complain  that  she  wisfoed  slje'd 
neier  had  children — a  sort  of  cheery  way  to  start  my 
day — ayid  I  hca  'e  to  go  to  the  allergist. 

Naturally,  I  did  not  enjoy  going  to  the  allergist,  to  .say 
the  least,  because  I  of  all  the  terrors  and  dangers  of  the 
trip  to  Manhattan.  But  also,  the  damn  guy  stuck  me  with 
about  five  or  six  needles  every  time  I  went  there. 

I  caught  the  bas,  got  on  the  train.  I  went  downstairs 
into  the  "F"  train  .station  somewhere  injamaica,  Queens. 
Right  away  I'm  scared.  The  train  had  a  special  meaning 
for  me  then,  and  still  does  to  this  day,  although  now 
there's  so  much  personal  violence  on  the  train  you  have 
to  watch  out  for  people.  In  those  days,  when  I  was  a  kid, 
there  wasn't  all  that  much  subway  violence.  There 
weren't  that  many  teenagers  wandering  around  eating 
people  and  throwing  them  on  the  tracks.  It  wasn't  that 
common.  What  bothered  me  was  the  faa  that  there 
were  .so  many  machines  down  there  of  such  a  powerful 
nature.  And  it  was  so  dark  and  ,so  far  underground  that  I 
always  felt  that  the  whole  thing  was  going  to  fall  in  on 
me.  That,  or  the  train  would  smash  into  a  wall  and  kill  us 
all.  I  had  my  fears  to  play  with.  I  should  have  brought  a 
book.  I  would  have  been  better  off. 

Anxway,  1  got  on  the  front  car.  Now  this  is  important.  I 
always  got  on  the  front  car  of  a  train  and  to  this  day  I  still 
like  to  get  on  the  front  car.  I  think  it  has  something  to  do 
with  (maybe  this  is  masculine  or  something  like  that,  or 
maybe  it's  not)  some  sort  of  identification  with  the 
surge  of  power  that's  involved  in  being  in  the  front  of  a 
train.  When  you're  a  teenager  in  the  city,  one  of  the 
most  powerful  things  that  you  can  have  any  personal 


connection  with,  (since  horses  are  not  around,  or  bulls 
or  any  kind  of  powerful  animal,)  is  a  train.  When  that 
train  comes  rumbling  and  roaring  into  the  station  and 
you're  a  teenager,  it  just  fills  your  blood  with  a  kind  of 
crazy  excitement.  So  I  always  used  to  get  on  the  first  car 
of  the  train  and  sit  down.  Also,  without  realizing  it,  I 
always  sat  .somewhere  near  the  front  of  the  front  car  and 
kx)ked  out  the  window  a  little  bit — ^you  know,  that  little 
window  with  reinforced  glass  in  the  front  of  the  subway 
car.  Well,  I  would  sit  there,  but  one  thing  I  never 
seemed  to  have  the  nerve  to  do,  althougli  1  wanted  to,  it 
tugged  at  me,  was  go  up  and  look  out  the  window. 

The  train  keeps  rumbling  along  and  stops  and  it 
roars  and  it  goes  through  the  stations,  and  I  m  thinking 
about  my '  mother  at  Ixjme  and  l.x>u '  she 's  sick  and  how  it 
makes  me  sick,  and  f  never  u  ant  to  go  home  again,  and 
I  am  looking  fonrard  to  being  stuck  in  the  arm  by  this 
jerk  in  Manhattan,  the  allergy  doctor. 

We're  rumbling  along.  We  go  about  three  or  four 
stops,  the  doors  cjpen  and  they  close  and  Just  before  they 
close  completely  a  big  fat  hand  is  thrust  tlwough  tlx 
doors.  So  then  the  doors  open  again  'cause  this  hand 
won't  more. 

In  comes  what  we  used  to  call,  with  great  teen-age 
sensitivity',  a  retard.  This  gu\-,  who  could  have  been 
anywhere  from  fifteen  to  thirt\'-five,  retarded,  comes 
into  the  train  with  a  nutty  kxjk  on  his  face.  Now,  in  this 
train  car  where  I  was  sitting,  there  were  about  tour  or 
five  people — all  .sort  of  Icx^king  at  books  or  bibles  or 
reading  the  New  York  Times,  or  .something  like  that. 
And  I,  of  course,  wasn't  doing  anything  except  sitting 
there  starkly  worried — the  Jewish  Hamlet  from  Queens, 
wondering  whether  to  be  or  not  to  be  on  the  "F"  train. 

I'm  sitting  there,  and  this  guy  comes  in  and  he  siiys, 
'Herhie's  here.  Herhie  is  Ijere!"  He  says  this  in  a  very 
loud  roice,  looking  around  with  the  stupidest  grin  on 
his  face.  He's  kind  of  slump-sJ.iouldered,and  sort  of 
pot-bellied.  He's  wearing  these  big  flat  black  sl.ioes.  and 
a  I  en '  loose  jacket  ii  <hich  looks  i  'en '  big  in  front,  like  he  s 
pregnant.  He  has  these  rery  dim  eyes,  big  thick  jaw,  and 
big  hairy  ears.  He  gets  on  and  Ije  says  to  nobody  in 
particular,  but  in  a  rery  loud  and  happy  roice,  "Here's 
Herbie.  Herbie  is  Ijere.'" 

I'm  thinking  to  myself  oh  God,  Ire  got  enough 
troubles,  please  God,  don 't  let  this  retard  sit  dou  n  next 
to  me  and  drire  me  nuts  the  whole  way  to  the  city.  I 
want  a  little  privacy  in  my  misery. 

I  couldn't  help  watching  this  guy  Herbie  with  that 
terrible  sick  knowledge  that  people  who  are  a  little  bit 
freak\'  or  lonely  or  who  live  in  a  very  strange  family  like 
I  did,  unfortunately,  have  in  common  with  other  people 
who  have  problems. 

.So  I'm  watching  him  with  a  combined  feeling  of 
disgust  and  terrible,  unwanted,  identity.  He's  yelling 


"Here's  Herhie.  Here's  Herbie, "  looks  around,  sees  after 
a  u  'hile  that  nobody  really  cares  that  Herbie  is  here,  and 
then,  without  further  adieu,  he  unzips  his  jacket  and 
pulls  out,  of  all  things,  a  steering  wheel — the  kind  that 
you  give  kids,  with  a  suction  cup  to  stick  on  the  dasly- 
hoard.  And  he  goes  over  to  this  windoiv,  which  I've  sort 
of  been  looking  out,  but  didn  't  hat  'e  the  nen  e  to  go  up 
to.  He  just  u  'alks  right  oi  'er  to  it  like  Iv  ott  'ns  it,  andsticks 
this  steering  wheel  with  the  suction  cup,  after  moisten- 
ing it  with  some  spit — disgusting — right  on  the  ii  indou : 

In  effect,  Herbie,  this  retard,  was  now  steering  the 
train.  And  he  had  ab.solutely  no  doubts — this  guy  knew 
just  what  he  wanted  to  do — he's  like  Albert  Schweitzer 
and  Jonas  Salk,  this  guy.  From  the  day  he  was  born  he 
knew  he  was  gonna  conquer  the  Zambezi  or,  be  the 
greate.st  ice  cream  salesman  that  ever  lived — one  of 
those  kinds  of  gu\s.  Whereas  me,  a  total  half-wit.  I  had 
no  idea  what  I  wanted  to  do,  if  I  wanted  to  do,  or  if  I 
even  wanted  to  be. 

.So,  we're  on  tlje  train  and  the  train  is  rumbling 
along,  arid  Herhie  is  standing  there  with  this  red  plastic 
steering  wheel  steering  the  train.  The  train  pulls  into 
Hillside  Avenue,  tl.ie  train  pulls  out  of  Hillside  Avenue. 
and  it's  rumbling  along  and  it's  on  the  tracks,  clackety, 
clackety,  clack.  And  Ixre's  this  guy  just  steering  the 
train,  making  sound  to  go  with  it.  On  a  bard  curve,  he 
just  sort  of  leans  into  it,  body  English  like  when  you're 
driving  a  car  And  he's  was  having  the  time  of  his  life. 
Everybody  else,  since  he  isn  t  looking  around,  is  sort  of 
looking  at  him  with  this  ven'  amused,  tolerant,  pitying 
look  on  their  faces. 

I  was  looking  at  him  in  complete  fascination,  and  son 
of  thinking  la  myself,  (although  now  when  1  look  back 
at  it  1  can  .see  it  more  clearly,)  but  I  was  thinking  to 
myself  in  those  days,  Jesus  Chri.st,  here's  this  gu\-,  a 
retard,  a  jerk,  and  I  am  so  brilliant.  I  do  well  in  school, 
I'm  a  hand.s<)me  little  devil,  my  mother  k)ves  me,  I'm 
athletic,  I  can  run  faster  than  other  people,  do  baseball 
cards  better,  and  here's  this  gu\'  who  nobody  could 
po.ssibly  care  about,  who  looks  like  a  pile  of  hay,  he 
comes  and  does  the  one  thing  that  I'd  always  sort  of 
wanted  to  do  on  the  train.  He  just  went  right  up  there 
and  he's  driving  the  train. 

The  train's  rrdtnhling  along  and  rumbling  along, 
and  we  hit  a  kind  of  real  heavy  turn — which  Herhie 
negotiates  beautifully — and  the  cab  door  swings  open 
and  right  next  to  him,  who  do  I  see,  but  tl.)e  actual 
engineer  of  the  train,  the  real  driver.  He's  got  his  little 
railroad  hat  on.  He's  kind  of  an  older  black  guy,  and 
he's  kind  of  hunched  over  tlje  lever  of  the  train  with  a 
totally  bored  look  on  his  face.  As  far  as  he's  concerned, 
he  might  as  u  'ell  be  it  'atching  telei  ision.  I  'm  surprised  he 
can  even  move  his  arms.  He  looks  like  he's  half  asleep.

programs;  and  articles  of  interest  to  WBAI's  listening  audience. 


Will  President  Reagan's  Star  Wars  Defen.se  System  j 
complete  our  fall  from  grace?  For  .some  time  now, 
"deterrence  "  and  "'defense  "  have  come  to  have  an  even 
more  ominous  ring  than  "threat "  in  the  context  of 
our  nation's  policy  toward  nuclear  arms.  Annuig  the 
Heavens,  on  June  12th,  explores  the  administratk)n's 
push  for  adoptkm  of  the  Strategic  Defense  Initiative;  its 
efficacy;  and  it's  possible  consequences. 

June  I6th  is  Bkx)msday,  the  day  celebrated  in  James 
Joyce's  Uly.sses.  Coincidentally,  it  is  also  Father's  Day, 
and  with  that  as  the  point  c^f  departure,  Bloonisday  on 
Broadway  will  concentrate  on  Joyce's  works  on  the 
theme  of  fatlierhood.  The  program  will  be  broadest, 
live,  from  Symphony  Space  starting  at  1pm. 

The  current  intensified  struggle  against  aparthei4  in 
South  Africa  has  origins  in  Sharpeville  in  the  1960's  and 
Soweto  in  the  1970's.  These  r(X)ts  will  be  explored 
when  the  International  Affairs  Dept.  presents  a  Com- 
memoration of  the  Soweto  Massacre  on  Sunday,  June 
16th  at  9pm. 

These  days,  it  is  usually  the  political  struggles  of  Latin 
America  that  dominate  our  thoughts;  but  occasionally 
samples  of  the  rich  cultural  life  of  that  part  of  the  world 
surface,  phoenLx-like.  The  Neic  Literature  of  Uitin  Atneri- 
ca  on  June  nth  from  1 1 :30am  to  "'pm  explores  both  the 
poetry  and  pro.se  of  the  region,  including  the  works  of 
Gabriel  Garcia  Lorca,  Erne.sto  Cardinal,  Pablo  Neruda 
and  many  others. 

On  June  18th  at  9pm,  James  Insay  makes  the  pil- 
grimage to  the  Cathedral  of  St.  John  the  Divine  to  meet

at  his  side,  will  demonstrate  and  perform  on  the  Ca- 
thedral's Aeolian-Skinner  organ. 

The  denizens  of  the  "Well  of  Horniness,"  a  side- 
splitting comedy  by  Holly  Highes,  will  be  among  those 
pre.sent  on  June  19th  for  the  Women's  Dept.'s  Celebra- 
tion of  Lesbian  [*ride. 

On  June  23rd  at  9pm,  the  Music  Department  pre.sents 
Part  II  of  the  American  New  Music  Consortium 's  Fourth 
Annual  Music  Festival.  Music  from  Italy  is  highlighted. 
This  event  was  recorded  here  in  New  York  City. 


A  MOVEABLE  FEAST 

Included  below  are  short  descriptions  of  Tom  'Vitale's 
guests  this  month  on  A  Moveable  Feast. 

Umberto  Eco  is  best  known  for  his  numerous  critical , 
studies  of  semiotics,  the  sign  .systems  of  everyday  life, 
but  his  first  riovel,  The  Name  of  the  Rose,  is  his  best 
seller.  It's  a  medieval  detective  story  of  murder  in  a 
mona.stery  that  sold  more  than  twenty  million  copies 
world  wide.  Critics  prai.sed  the  novels  mixture  of  his- 
tory, philosophy,  and  mystery.  The  Name  of  the  Ro.se 
has  won  the  t^^'o  major  literary  awards  of  Italy.  In  the 
New  York  Re\'iew  of  Books,  Richard  Ellman  credits  Eco 
with  "a  delightful  humor, "  and  Jeffrey  Schaire  writes  for 
Harpers  "As  a  semiotic  murder  my.stery  it  is  .superbly 
entertaining;  it  is  also  an  extraordinary  work  of  art." 

To  speak  to  us,  poetr\'  must  engage  the  problems  of 
ordinary  experience,  and  Louis  Simp.son's  p(x;ms  do 
just  that.  His  two  recent  books,  The  Best  Hour  of  tf.>e 
Ntf^ht  and  People  Live  Here:  Selected  Poems  1949-  19f^3 
gather  together  Simp.son's  observations  and  reflec- 
tions on  the  lives  of  Americans.  The  poems  of  the 
Pulitzer  Prize  winner  combine  the  novelist's  eye  for 
detail  with  the  precise  imagery  of  the  lyricist.  Peter  Stitt 
of  the  Georgia  Review  writes  that  Simp.son's  poems  are 
"readable  and  aesthetically  attraaive,  engaging  both 
the  intellect  and  the  emotions, "  and  adds  "Tlje  Best 
Hour  of  tl.v  .Wight  contains  some  of  the  best  poems  of 
his  entire  career. "  The  body  of  Simpson's  work  in- 
cludes fiaion,  criticism,  and  many  volumes  of  pcx;try. 

Rita  Mae  Brown  possesses  a  vibrant,  audacious  voice. 
Brown's  first  novel,  Ruby  Fruit  Jungle,  was  originally 
published  by  a  small  feminist  pre.ss,  and  later  reprinted 
by  Bantam  B<x>ks  as  a  mass  market  paperback.    Read- 


ers' response  to  her  protaganist's  lively  humor  and 
reckless  courage  made  Rtihy  Fruit  Jungle  a  best  seller. 
Allen  Ginsberg's  early  colleak)n  of  p(x;ms,  Hotti, 
survived  censorship  trials  to  gain  its  prominent  place 
among  the  mo,st  widely  read  and  translated  bcx)ks  of 
this  century.  That  was  in  1956,  when  Gin.sberg  was  one 
of  the  rebellious  and  innovative  Beat  Poets.  Now,  Allen 
Ginsberg  is  one  of  the  few  poets  with  whom  most 
americans  are  familiar,  and  the  public  and  critics  are 
more  than  ready  to  read  his  poem  "White  Shroud, " 
sequel  to  the  classic  "Kaddish, "  and  the  title  poem  of  his 
forthcoming  volume  of  poetry.  It  has  been  .said  of  Gins- 
berg's work  that  it  "helped  cataly?.e  a  p.sychological 
revolution  that  has  become  a  permanent  part  of  our 
cultural  heritage. " 
Later  this  summer,  A  MOVEABLE  FEAST  will  feature: 

7/3     Allen  Ciinsberg 

reading  from  his  long  poem  Kaddish 
11X1   T.Gertler 

reading  from  her  novel,  Elbowing  the  Seducer

HERE'S  HERBIE 

continued  from  page  6 

Completely  hored.  The  train 's  running  along  and 
he's  just  sort  of  pushing  the  let'ers  and  looking 
out.  And  next  to  him,  strange  enough — I  see  him 
through  the  open  door — and  next  to  him,  about  a 
foot  away,  is  Herfne,  standing  up  riding  for  his 
life,  driving  what  might  as  well  he  the  U.S.S.  En- 
terprise on  its  ten-year  mission  through  space.  An 
incredible  combination  of  sights 

Well,  all  strange  things  come  to  an  end.  We  got 
to  the  stop  on  the  east  side — I  think  it's  59th  Street 
or  someplace — and  the  allergist  was  on  Park  Ave- 
nue and  I  had  to  get  off  and  go  there.  I  went 
upstairs,  and  here  I  was,  in  Manhattan,  which  I 
detested.  I  mean.  Queens  was  hard  enough  for 
me  with  the  occasional  person  I  ran  into,  but  with 
my  kind  of  shyness  and  neurosis  Manhattan  was 
like  a  terrible  carnival  that  somebody  dropped 
me  into  without  warning  or  protection. 

So  I  walked  along  the  .streets,  I  got  to  the  al- 
lergist, and  here  was  this  schmegege.  This  guy  was 
World  War  II  vintage,  about  fift\',  bald.  A  gigantic, 
tough,  bluff,  hearty  kind  of  gu\'.  And  he  made  his 
living  .sticking  needles,  with  .serum  in  them,  in 
young  people.  Whether  or  not  it  did  any  gtx>d  is 
beyond  me.  I  mean,  I  continued  to  sneeze  m\- 
head  off  until  I  was  34  years  old  anyhow.  Here  / 
am,  being  a  darthoardfor  n  ix)  knou  's  u  'hat good. 
So  he  sticks  these  needles  in  me,  and  be  sa]  's  to  me. 
"How  are  you. ^"  "Fine."  And  you  have  to  under- 
stand that  this  guy  was  an  allergist,  but  a  modern 
man  and  he  had  some  dim  understanding  of  the 
psychological  causes  of  these  diseases.  And  he 
.•iays  to  me,  "How's  .\lotl.vr.^"  One  of  those  kind  of 
guys — He  doesn't  Siiy,  "Hon 's your  mother,  "  hut 
he  Siiys,  'How's  Mother,"  thereby  immediately 
making  her  a  principal  of  existence,  the  basic  fact 
of  life,  ratl.ier  than  just  my  mother,  an  ordinary 
human  being,  I'm  bating  trouble  enough  under- 
standing to  begin  with. 

So  this  guy  says,  "How's  Mother'"  It's  almost  as 
if  Ik's  asking  me  "How's  Gody"  What  can  I  say'r' 
"She's  okay,  s/.ie's  allrigbt"  l  nisi}  /  were  out  (>/ 
there  already.  He  sticim  a  couple  of  needles  in  my 
arm  and  I  get  out  oftl.vre  real  fast.  The  nurse  says 
gcx)dhye  to  me — I  expect  her  to  say  "Hows  MotlKt" 
too. 

I  get  hack  on  the  train  headed  towards  Quee>is 
and  I  sit  down.  The  train  is  gathering  up  speed, 
and  its  about  three  in  the  afternoon,  and  I'm  rer\' 
depressed  now.  First  of  all,  this  experience  with 
Herlne  driiing  the  train  and  me  tiot  being  able  to 
do  it  really  gets  on  my  nenvs  And  /"m  feeling 
oppressed.  I  know  l"m  going  to  go  home  and  my 
mother's  gonna  be  in  Iyer  room  and  sl.v's  gonna 
be  sitting  there,  tired,  and  sl.w's  gonna  he  upset, 
and  the  rabbi's  gonna  he  there,  fn-obahly.  I  l.Ktpe 
he  won't  be.  Somebody's  going  to  Ije  there  and 
they'll  be  kowtowing  to  her,  and  Til  iralk  in  and 
hare  to  he  quiet.  It's  my  old  half  life  again.  Go 
hack  up  to  my  room.  What  a  miserable  way  to 
Hi  'e.  And  I'm  smarting  from  these  injections  in  my 
ami,  thinking  about  Herhie. 

Without  thinking,  I'm  on  the  first  car  again.  I 
sort  of  sideivays  look  at  tlie  front  window,  and  this 
what-the-l.iell  feeling  comes  over  me.  My  life  is  a 
toted  cess[)ool  anyl.K)w.  I  hale  myself  Idont  want 
to  go  home  to  that  u  <oman,  and  here  I  am — life  is 
pcL'i.sing  me  by.  There  are  millions  of  things  I  want 
to  do  and  I  never  do  tlmn.  I'm  just  gonna  do  it 

So  I  get  up,  and  I  walk  over,  eien  though  there 
are  several  people  who  could  he  my  mother  or 
spies  working  for  my  mot/jer  in  the  front  car  of  the 
trait  i.  Somehow  something  snaps  in  me,  and  I  say 
to  hell  with  it.  I  walk  over,  and  /  jiLstput  my  face 
right  up  against  the  window  of  the  train,  and  I 
look  out.  The  train  begins  to  pick  up  some  speed 
and  it's  going  through  the  stations — 42nd  Street, 
l^xington  Ave — and  I'm  fascinated  I  don't  care 
if  anybody  isUxikingatine.  I  started  looking,  and 
it  a  'as  as  beautiful  as  I  ei  'er  imagined  it  to  he.  Here 
J  am  in  the  front  part  of  this  great  train  which  has 
i  no  thought  for  anybody  at  all  This  train  repre- 
sents pure  poti  'er.  It  just  surges  through  this  tunnel. 

It's  gOtta  be  the  feeling  that  the  first  sperm  has. 
When  those  millions  and  billions  of  sperms  just 
get  out  there  and  a  gun  goes  off  and  they  start  to 
race  for  that  egg.  The  first,  the  strongest,  bigge.st 
sperm  just  goes  whammo — he  knows  just  where 
he's  going.  Well  that's  what  that  train  was  doing.  It. 


was  charging  througn  that  tunnel  and  rumbling 
along  and  passing  people  by  like  they  were  ants, 
and  it  represented  to  me  everything  that  I  wasn't. 
Here  I  was,  this  little  weak  wimp-boy  getting 
ready  to  go  home  to  my  Mommy  in  Queens,  and 
this  train  is  zooming  along. 

Have  you  ever  looked  out  the  front  of  a  subway 
train?  Have  you  ever  had  the  childlikeness  or 
even  just  the  guts?  It's  fantastic.  It's  a  great  sight. 
You  have  this  beautiful,  dark,  long,  cool  tunnel, 
and  the  train  charges  through  it  because  even 
though  it  only  going  maybe  30  or  35  miles  per 
hour,  if  that  fast,  with  the  walls  only  a  half  fcxit 
away  it  .seems  like  it's  charging  at  100  miles  an 
hour.  At  the  far  end  you  can  see  the  lights  of 
another  station,  but  in  between,  when  its  really 
dark,  you  can  see  all  kinds  of  red  and  green  traffic 
and  signal  lights.  You  have  no  idea  what  they 
mean,  not  could  you  care  le.ss,  but  they  look  like 
beautiful  stars  or  jewels  off  in  the  distance. 

And  all  of  a  sudden  everything  ju.st  disappeared, 
and  it  was  just  me  and  this  train.  I  was  this  train, 
zooming  along  in  this  tunnel,  going  a  million 
miles  an  hour,  and  the  stops  are  coming.  And  all 
of  a  .sudden,  without  being  able  to.  help  it  at  all,  I 
was  running  this  train.  1  could  feel  my  fingers 
kind  of  twitching  and  1  wished  I  had  had  the  same 
kind  of  steering  wheel  this  guy  Herbie  had,  be- 
cause right  now  I'm  in  charge  of  this  train. 

About  halfway  along,  into  Astoria  in  Queens, 
fm  really  into  it.  I'm  driving  this  train  and  these 
heautiful  lights  are  ahead  of  me  in  this  dark  tun- 
nel and  we're  charghig  along. 

Suddenly,  I  pass  by  one  of  those  sjyots — you 
know,  where  you  can  see  a  train  coming  in  the 
other  direction  because  there's  not  a  wall  in  be- 
tween, just  some  steel  girders — and  the  train 
sloivs  down  a  little  hit,  hut  its  still  going  at  a  pretty 
good  speed,  and  I  see  a  train  approaching  in  the 
distance.  I  look  in  the  front  window  and  who  do  I 
.sec  but  Herhie,  driving  the  train  the  other  way!  I 
can  "t  beliei  e  it.  There  l.v  is,  he 's  getting  closer  and 
closer,  and  then  I  know  he  sees  me.  I  seehim  with 
his  steering  wheel,  and  hes  driving  the  train.  He 
.sees  me,  emd  I'm  clririn}^  this  tniin. 

It  was  a  moment  of  identification  I  cannot  de- 
scribe to  you.  It's  a  moment  that  only  a  tew 
people:  great  star-fleet  commanders — Captain 
Kirk;  the  leader  of  a  great  .squad  of  airplanes — 
Captain  Dolittle;  have  in  common. 

Were  both  driving  these  powerful  machines, 
many  people  responsible  to  us,  livesdependon  us. 
the  destiny  of  perhaps,  the  universe,  and  we're 
coming  closer  and  closer,  and  l.v  lifts  his  hand 
and  he  smiles  at  me  and  u  -ai  'es  at  me.  and  I  forget 
eveiytl.nng. 

I  forgot  my  self-consciousness.  I  forgot  I  wasn't 
a  retard.  I  forgot  he  was  a  retard.  I  forgot  I  was  a 
wimp.  I  raised  m\'  hand  and  we  just  gave  each 
other  a  .salute,  king  of  a  grim  but  professional 
understanding  that  two  great  men,  responsible 
for  the  de.stinies  of  million  of  people,. were  at  the 
helm. 

The  train  zoomed  b\-  and  I  kept  dri\  ing.  I  drove 
all  the  wa\-  into  Queens.  And  finally,  I  had  this 
kind  of  sinking  feeling  'cause  I  knew,  I  knew  that 
we  were  coming  to  the  end  and  that  Id  have  to  go 
back  home.  I  got  off  the  train  and  got  on  the  bus, 
and  I  could  feel  my  shoulders  start  to  drcxjp.  I 
started  picking  at  m\'  fingernails,  scratching  m\- 
head,  scratching  my  allerg\'  injeaions. 

/  get  offtlx  bus  ami  walk  the  feiv  blocks  to  my 
house,  and  sure  enough,  Goddamn  it^  there  was 
the  rabbi's  car  and  iIk  doctor's  car  in  front  qfmv 
mother's  house.  And  Tm  thinking  to  myself  oh 
God,  I  hope  her  door  is  closed  and  sl.ie  doesn't 
bother  me,  because  Tie  never  felt  so  exhilarated 
before.  She's  being  ministered  in  there,  and  being 
given  all  kinds  of  pill — wI.K)  knows  what  tbe\''re 
giving  her.  I  walk  quietly  upstairs  to  my  room  so 
slye  u  'Ouldn  't  hear  me.  I  close  the  door  and  I  look 
out  the  u 'indoii 'and this i 'ision  comes  hack  to  me 
of  this  charging  subway  train  and  driving  down 
this  tunnel  at  100  miles  an  hour,  the  power  of  the 
universe  under  my  capable  hands.  And  I  see 
Herhie  driving  tlje  other  way  and  I  feel  kind  of  a 
comradeslnp  with  some  of  the  great  men  that  have 
ever  lived. 

For  a  moment  there  I  had  been  in  total  com- 
mand of  mv  life.
